The mechanism herein illustrated and described 1s capable ofconsiderable modifica- -tion without departing from the principle of myinvention.

Having' described Iny invention what I claim is:

l. An abrasive belt support having a belt v supporting face thecounterpart ot the work of said supporting face adapted to ree vve andguide the edges 4ol a traveling abrasive lJtli'.

Q. An abrasive belt: support having a supporting tace the counterpart otthe ivork to be polished, :Tnfl a recess adapted to receive and guidethe edge of a traveling abrasive belt.

il. An abrasive belt .support having a belt supporting 'tate thecounterpart ot' the work to be polished, a recess adapted to-receivc andgifpr'te the edge ot` a traveling abrasive belt, and a face adapted toengage a face on the worlc to guide said belt supporting to be polished.and recesses at opposite sides at. opposite sides'ot said beltsupporting face adapted to receive and guide the edges of a travelingabrasive belt, `and a fa adapted to engage a tace on the Work and toguide said belt supporting face along in contact with the yface of thework to be polished. y

6. .\n abrasive belt, support, said support comprising a belt supportingface the counterpart of the .work to be polished, recesses at oppositesides of said belt supporting face adapted to receive and guide theedges of an abrasive belt, and faces at opposite sides of said beltsupporting face adapted to engage faces on the Work and to guide i saidbelt supporting face along in.
